Processing application that I created and used for my clip: http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/63533
It was quite hard for me to choose my concept. I was mainly choosing between game design and coding. But I decided to go ahead with coding as this touches ny personal feelings because I recently discovered that new reality that we get in with coding, so I am sharing feelings and thoughts I got from my own actual experience.

Project description.
Thinking about the concept for my stop motion clip I was first of all thinking about what I love about media design and what I would like to share with other people. I am interested in quite different fields of media design and found it quite hard to choose the particular field I want to concentrate on. But the idea came into my mind when I was in bed, just about to sleep. I decided to share my feelings about the most amazing thing I learned at uni – coding. When I found out that coding is one of the core papers for media design students I was really disappointed and scared. I was not really confident with computers and even the name “coding” used to make me freak out. But when I actually started learning it I found out that coding is not as scary as it seems. Even though it really was hard for me, I had lot of fun creating different things using code. I learned not only how to code but more important how to love and enjoy coding. For my stop motion clip I am using an actual processing application that I made for final project for creative coding. Even though I use my imagination for the video and show the person physically getting inside that amazing virtual reality, I like the idea of using a media design product that actually exists, moreover, made by myself. So this project is kind of advertising my coding application, which I think is a good practice for me as for a future designer. Besides I am showing some of my fantasies about the future when I will be able to make stuff that we can physically interact with. For me coding became a personal trouvaille of a new world where I can create and make my fantasies real and this project was a great opportunity to share my discovery with others.
